FIRST OFF I LIVE IN PHOENIX AZ WHERE IT IS REGULARLY 115DEGREES. I HAVE A TEN MONTH OLD SON AND HAVE TO RUN THE AC. WHEN I RUN THE AC IT BLOWS HARD AND COLD, BUT MY TEMP GOES WAY UP. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO COME BACK DOWN IS TO OPEN THE VENT FULL BLAST OR SOME TIMES EVEN HAVE TO TURN ON THE HEATER. EVEN WITH TAKING THESE STEPS IT STILL NEVER DIPS UNDER THE 3/4 MARK ON THE GAUGE. I REGULARLY PUT COOLANT AND MAKE SURE WATER IS IN IT BUT IT DOESNT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THE COOLANT RESEVOIR IS ALWAYS FULL AND MY RADIATIR TO THE BRIM. WHAT COULD BE MY PROBLEM? HELP PLEASE!

Hi there,

You may have a faulty thermostat, blocked radiator of faulty cooling fans, also check that the A/C condenser fan turns on with the A/C, get the radiator cleaned & flow tested by a radiator shop for best results.
